The Dracut girls eighth-grade travel basketball team improved their record to 10-1 as they beat Tewksbury 33-29. The Lady Middies did a fine job throughout this contest as they held a double-digit lead until the closing minute of the game.

Meanwhile, the Dracut boys seventh-grade travel basektball team lost a tough one to Haverhill 53-40. The Middies opened up quick and had an early 15-point lead before the Hilltoppers closed the gap to trail by 5 as the first half ended 28-23 in Dracut's favor.

Haverhill started to heat up after the break with some downtown 3-point shots and pulled ahead to stay as a tired and unfocused Dracut squad blew their huge initial advantage and only scored 12 points in the second half.
